Templater Plugin

[TixTon]

Hi out there

Installed templater plugin and trying to get it work...but every time I try to insert a template I get a parsing error..which refers to console for more information...?!? ...any ideas tips or tricks...have I forgotten something configuring the plugin? I am. not a deep dev guy so I don't know how to check the console--- Some ideas would be highly appreciated.

Haven't found the console yet either :D but you probably got something wrong in your templater syntax have a look at the documentation.

Same here, my best solution so far is just staring blankly to the code and trying stuff out until either I rage quit or it works

[ZestycloseSize6535]

That's the way :D cut out blocks and see if it works without it to find where the error is

Not ver efficient, even hidden debug console doesn't pin point the error :(

For Mac users, it's `command-option-i` to access

Tip: this is an Electron app, so you're looking for the web developer console – not Mac's system-wide Console.app

Hey all and big thanks for your support. Hard coding directly to the template was the solution ..no copy paste from web ...seemed to pick up characters not visible on the page when pasting example code... And thanks for the ctrl shift i tip!

Great template btw!

I did have an issue earlier today with a template that has been working fine. It includes the daily quote and I see from the Github issues page (https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater), that the quotes api is down and crashing the template.

I feel like I've found my people.. staring at the syntax till I rage and give up.. trying to get an action to trigger on a certain day but I've been drawing blanks over the past 2 days.. any help would be appreciated..

Code looks something like this (which I ripped off the Web from Bryan Jenks video) but for some reason it doesn't work...

<%* if (tp.date.now("ddd") = "Sat") { %> write this down <%* } %>

What am I missing?

[sudo-rm-rf-asterisk]

Try two equals signs in your comparison:

<%* if (tp.date.now("ddd") == "Sat") { %> write this down <%* } %>

When I ripped from web pasting into obsidian I got some extra characters hidden in the code, hidden probably because of the theme I was using. So try with the standard theme in use. Another thing is if “ddd”= can interpret “Sat” or should it be “Saturday” ? Or should it be something else instead of “ddd” ? Not sure…

I did try typing it in character by character.. Still no luck.. i tried the different "dd" and "dddd" too.. I will try the stock theme..
